News/release from nickludlam (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=14992)


We've just opened the doors to http://dsvideo.recoil.org/ which contains binaries and source for our Wavelet video codec.

The player includes a short sample video for testing, and we've provided command-line encoders for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It uses FFmpeg, so should be able to convert any kind of videos you want.

Works amazingly. Gotta do some tests now to compare the quality against dpg in moonshell.

let me no if there's a difference between the quality of moonshell and this please. if not, i'll just stick with moonshell.

Agh, looks very nice. Can't install Framework 3.5 on my computer though... ARGH.

Perhaps a new section for gbatmw?

Couldn't use the encoder on 64-bit linux.

I'm also interested in quality comparisons (not that Moonshell is bad, of course).

Looking at the sample flash on that site, it does look better than Moonshell though. A lot of testing at different bitrates seems warranted though, and I'm too lazy to do it.

I don't understand how to use this. The given instructions aren't very clear.

Some help would be very nice.

I r running OS X.

@Mini Moose: Sorry, I can't help you. (I'm using Windows....)
But the video quality is very good!

From what I can tell, it seems to do a pretty impressive job, and the encoding times really aren't so bad. O_o But that might be related to the fact that I'm using a new computer since the last time I encoded videos for the DS.

Anyway, great job!

Oh, that's alright. (: It mustn't be too great if they don't provide proper instructions.

I just don't understand how to compress videos into the special format.

im having the same problem as mini moose but i run windows. i like the way that you can fast foward and rewind as seen in the video

My (maybe complicated) instruction for Windows:
Start->Run->cmd
Then you type in: [harddisk where DSV is on]:\[Folder where DSV is on]\dsvideo.exe [input file with Directory]

An example:
C:\Documents and Settings\Jan-H\Dsvideo\dsvideo.exe -o output-example.dsv C:\Videos\1.avi

With "-o" you tell the program the name of the output video. You can leave it, but then the output file is told output.dsv. All output files are in C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\

The updated encoder version is even easier. If you don't specify a filename for output, it will keep it as VideoName.dsv in the folder the original video file was in. You can even just drag-and-drop the video file onto the encoder file and it will work, though if you want custom options you'll need to enter them from the command-line.
